Who is this Jamin guy anyway?
I am the husband of one and the father of nine. I was created to sing, to worship, to encourage, and to be steady. I am the Owner & Executive Director of Trinity Arts Center, a multi-disciplinary Arts Center in Eastern Tennessee, and the President of Trinity Arts Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization focused on funding arts education and performance. I've been involved with four music projects in my life -- Hot Pink Turtle, Spin Radio, Stand Like Stone, and of course, Jamin Rathbun.

I'm not really a worrier (my wife calls me a "glass is 3/4 full" kind of guy) but, like anyone else, it's easy to get caught up in the stress of life (especially finances) when things aren't going according to the script you have in your head. Anyway... I like the section in Matthew 6 that says "your heavenly Father knows that you need them." It's just encouraging to be reminded that God knows us, and our needs, better than anyone else. And above that -- He is the best equipped to do something about it. = )

Matthew 6:19-21Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:31-34So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Work hard. Plan your way. Do what's right. Trust God.

Fight or Flight?In an unknown place, at an unknown time, perfect harmony has been found and the act of war has been forgotten. In this world, void of violence, a sport has risen to champion those who crave mischief and excitement. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you Zwok!

A very fun online game that pits blue vs. green in a three-on-three rock throwing battle. Each team is given about 10 seconds to move their player, select a weapon, and launch an attack on the other team. Play continues until all of the players on one team have been annihilated. It's a simple game that requires just enough strategy to be interesting. Great fun! = )
